| Fritz Carrera BE stand mounts @decooney fritz, based on his 310 area code phone contact #, had me fooled too -- thinking he is based in LA... actually he is in fairfax in marin county! | |
| adding a DAC/Streamer or what the voicing of modern dacs goes well beyond the specific d-to-a conversion technology used -- modern bitstream chips can be voiced to sound very very analog-like (and virtually indistinguishable to r2r conversion units, be it through discrete resi... | |

| Are "vintage" DAC's worthwhile, or is this a tech that does not age well DAC's before 2010 were almost universally worse sounding with Redbook than with high resolution files. i don't agree with this - it is contrary to my own findings | |
